The new year is right around the corner and starting a new year is always a good time to get organized!! Having a beautiful space with a place for everything is key! Here are some great inspiration offices and craft rooms to get you started!

Elizabeth Maxon's amazing office. I love the detail she uses. The quotes on the desk, old lawyer door and the incredible filing system!

I like how it is black and white with pops of color. You can change the look of the office but changing a few accessories!

Molly Sims office. Love the chandelier and pink accents

Incredible accent wall with vintage book wallpaper.

I also think the chalkboard wall is a great idea.

Using a neutral base with pops of color in the accessories is a fun way to decorate!!

Ikea is a great spot to buy the colorful accessories

Using furniture that is not "typical" office furniture helps to add character. This office uses a chiffarobe as storage and I LOVE the look.

This craft room has a fun vintage feel. I LOVE the vintage metal baskets at the top. House of Hargrove has similar baskets that would be perfect for the look. Here is a photo

Love the large memo board. Great for style and function!

Great small workspace! Great color scheme...chocolate and robin egg blue!

Ireally like the way they painted the back of the shelves. This is a great inexpensive way to make a huge impact on your office!! Wallpaper in the back of bookshelves is also a beautiful way to add detail and make your office look custom.

Great distressed, numbered shelf from Pottery Barn. Get the piece here

The queen of organization and crafting...Martha Stewart

LOVE LOVE LOVE the old door turned into a chalkboard!

Fun unique pieces are great for organization. This metal basket is so cute.

Pink accents are so much fun!

Really unique organizing pieces. Here they use old cheese graters for pencil holders and and old crib frame for a memo board. Taking a top of a table and mounting it to the wall is a great space saving idea for smaller spaces.

Hi my name is Elaine and I am a Diet Pepsi drinking, ranch dressing loving, DIY doer, vintage furniture obsessed wife and mom! We are blessed to live in the most precious town, McKinney, TX and that is where I run my business House of Hargrove. I sell painted & distressed vintage furniture and decor. I LOVE creating the "look for less" and pinch myself everyday that I get to do this for a living. Come along with me as I share decorating, refinishing furniture, my family, some recipes (although I am not a big cook) and all things I love!
